Gearbox released the latest Battleborn character today. His name is Ernest, and he is an explosive Aviant. His arsenal includes the following:
-
UPR-G73 GRENADE LAUNCHER: Load up Ernest’s trademark UPR Grenade Launcher. With six explosive rounds in the chambers, Ernest can deal area damage on impact or trigger after a short delay.
-
POWER EGG: Lay down a Power Egg that provides bonuses for your team. Allies in range can get attack speed boosted by 25% in Attack mode or reduce damage by 15% in Defense Mode.
-
EXPLOSIVE CHARGES: Blow up everything! Heave this sticky charge then go and lie in wait for the right moment to detonate and deal damage to foes. Or just stick them on your enemies – whatever works for you!
-
DETONATOR: Pull the plunger and detonate deployed explosive charges – or switch between Power Egg modes.
-
MINE GRID (Ultimate): Cover your tracks and deploy a grid of mines. Each one will explode on contact with an enemy.
-
DIRECT HIT (Passive): Ernest is deadly accurate with his Grenade Launcher – so if you land a perfect shot with an explosive canister, the direct hit deals an extra 15% damage to your foe.
Also, the next character’s name is Kid Ultra. Kid Ultra is the pinnacle of support technology, and healing teammates while subduing enemies.
Check out the trailer below to see Ernest in action.
